Introduction

The MAX4518CEE is a precision, monolithic analog switch designed for use in analog signal routing applications. It operates as a single-pole, four-throw (SP4T) switch or a 4:1 multiplexer/demultiplexer.

Product Features and Performance

SP4T configuration with a 4:1 multiplexer/demultiplexer circuit

Low on-state resistance of 100Ohm maximizes signal integrity

Excellent channel-to-channel matching of 4Ohm (Max) reduces signal variation

Versatile supply voltage ranging from 2V to 15V (single) and ±2.7V to 8V (dual)

Quick switch time of 150ns for both turn-on and turn-off enhances responsiveness

Minimal charge injection of 5pC (Max) to protect signal fidelity

Low channel capacitance (5pF off, 16pF off) for improved performance in high-frequency applications

Extremely low leakage current (100pA Max) when switched off maintains signal integrity

Superior crosstalk suppression (-92dB @ 100kHz) ensures minimal signal interference

Product Advantages

Precision switching suitable for high-quality audio and video signal routing

Low power consumption suitable for battery-powered devices

Minimal signal distortion preserves the original signal quality
